Poker Chip Tricks Part 2 – The Finger Chip Flip

September 29th, 2009 by zilbob

This poker chip trick is Dutch Boyd’s signature trick.  He originally did it at the 2003 World Series of Poker.  This again is an easy one and is just a slight variation on the trick we previously.

Start by holding three poker chips between your thumb and index fingers. Put your fingers just above the middle point of the poker chips.

Put your ring finger just below your index finger, while simultaneously moving your middle finger out of the way.

With your ring finger, loosen the two poker chips closest to your palm.  Glide them down and away from the front poker chip.  Move the chips down until they are halfway below the front chip. As you let the chips drop, shift your middle finger forward and position it on the side where the poker chips meet. If your fingers are in the correct position you can hold all the chips using only your thumb and middle finger.

With your index finger, draw back on the front chip.  Glide it over the other two poker chips allowing it to fall right behind them.

Bring your pinky up to support the chips as the moving chip glides down behind the other two poker chips.

    I’ve tried this trick so many times but for whatever reason I dont think my fingers were built for it, maybe its genetic lol. My short stubby fingers just weren’t meant to shuffle around poker chips like a pro, the best I do is fumble them around like a dope and drop them eventually.

    On a sidenote, a friend of mine is great at this trick and says the key is to use lotion on your hands to help grip the chips before hand. He always shows it off at Texas Holdem Poker tournaments in vegas and the ladies melt over it eventhough I think its silly.
